B. MCQUESTI N, K,C., ONTARIO MIN. ASTER OF HIGHWAYS AND MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS, (Vol. 2, pages 83 to 87): "Mr. Prime Minister and gentlemen, before this conference dissolves, the province of Ontario would like to place before it its financial position With regard to the effects of the Sirois report on the province's IInaoees, Perhaps I might properly preface what I have to say to -day ',,, referring to two points touched upon by the Premier of Manitoba (Mr. Bracken) in the pro• sentation of his argument before the opening session of the eonforence yesterday. Ilon. ]1I1', Bruulcen made what I might cart an earnest plea to the delegates of this conference, and particularly to the Premier of Ontario, to consider the attitude taken by the late Don. George Brown at the various conferences leading up to coefoderation. In bringing Mr. Brown', name into the conference he has suggested that Mi Brown very properly forgot his own personal feelings in the matter and joined hands with Macdonald and others North in shnpinAmes; rica confederationAct, as expressed by the British I consider it rather an unfortunate choice of argu- ment to ask that the Premier of Ontario emulate drown. I hold that in taking the attitude he has, lion. Mr. Hepburn has been but living up to the traditions of Brown, and has defended and upheld all that Brown stood for, and is safeguarding the rights and responsi- bilities vested in the separate provinces by confedera- tion. I imfer to supi:ort -red adopt the material structure which was created by Brown, rather than altempt to interpret ate spirit, as Mr. Bracken has pur- ported to do. if Mr. Bracken's argument were to pre- vail, history would be degraded, our ideals lshattered, and the names of our public men cast into the ossuary of time. Mr. Bracken -vas on better ground when he ads -mess -1 the idea that provincial autonomy, without tolecl.l::te revenues for discharging tire. funetions of r: ,- t:n.01 for which provinces etre resi,onrihie, is but little more than a farce. To put the seine idea in another way, wauituuomthout yfiscal. independence there can be no provincial I am prepared to -day to review the financial history of the province of Ontario, particularly relating to the years since the present government has been in charge at Toronto, Ontario Mantes Budget Briefly, let tee state that we have followed since the 1st of April, 193G, a sound financial policy, as shown by our budgetary position. In 19a3-37, 1937.38, and 19:18.39, we had balanced budgets. 'Tele year we are Promised by our premier who is also the provincial treasurer, a balanced budget, a surplus and a reduction in debt. This wholesome and enviable budgetary position has placed us in a position to curry out a policy of assist- ance to the 000 municipalities which form the lural government adm;ni-•.-utions of Ontario. For example, the province has assumed the entire capital cost of construct:nn of nor great highway system, the financial burden of which formerly rested in part upon the municipalitieeS The province also contributes in various ways toward highway construction expenu:tures by municipalities. In matters of public health, Ontario has made great strides and has, eines this guvertanent took charge, at an annual cost of millions of dollars, assumed the entire burden of the care of indigent tubercular patients. Public health in Ontario costs the proviuco of Ontario m sum exceeding $000,000 per month. Then, in exchange for the income tax, which was formerly collected by a few of the 900 municipalities we have substituted a provincial innate tax. and have assumed the entire cost of the share formerly borne by the municipalities of old age pensions and mothers' allowances. The annual cost to the government of Ontario for old age pensions, as represeulr'd by the present &A:! year, amounts to three and a ha:3 . ui1Ik doPnrs. This in- cludes the province's share of pe ,`ions f•: r the. blued. The annual cost to the province •of mothers' elle notes this year will exceed the sure of live and a qua r• - aniilion dollars. All ot these items -that 1s, ol` t • pensions, pensions for vhe l,:Ind ctn:? m,+hers' , los maces -are annually increasing it, clununt. I quite agree with the estimate made by a,reninrnr nrtnaries that they will continue to increase for the next fifty Sears. It is diflicult at this time to estimate the final limit of the cost of these three envied serviette, which, as you are aware, were never dreamed of by the fathers of Confederation. We also pay to the municipalities na'annunl subsidy of one mill, lased on the general .ussesslnent of the municipalities, and ibis omouuts in round figures to the sum of three million dollars per astrnum. Another function of government duet is growing annually is education, and it is estimated that for the present fiscal year the provinee will spt.nd upwards of thirteen million dollars. Compares Relief Costs Ono of the services that has cost enormous /rums dor- ,. ing the past decade is that of the cost of relief. Under •the present basis of contribution the dominion pays 40 per cent. of direct relief cost8, excluding medical services. Including medical servit-es the dominion eon- trihution is 38 imr cent. of the total expenditure. For the present fiscal year, that is, the period ending 1llnreh 81 next, relief will cost Ontario hetsunt of ten million dollars. -Of this the dominion's share will bo 53.800,. 000, the provincial shore $4,300,000, and the muni- cipalities' share 51,900,000. Estimating the cost of relief for the fiscal year which Begins April 1, 1041, calculated on the present basis of shnriug the cost of relief, end estimated from the best avnileble information, the relief picture in Ontario will bo represented as follows; Dominion share.........,.. 52,5:10,000 Provincial share 11,893,00(1 Municipal share 1,278,000 If the Sirois hnsis be adopted, for tate fiscal year 1941-42, the cost is estimated as: Dominium share $ 586,00 Provincial share 4.,(1.2 7,1x00 Municipal shore 1,232,000 Tints it will bo observed that by adopting the Sirois basis the dominion wou'.d enjoy a saving of ;01.0, 0,000, while the province of (1: t t io would be called upon to increase its espendithres by the 8001 of $2,0:15.0e0, and the burden cf the nrnsicipalitfes wo lel be prac- tically the same as under the present plan, the differ. once being loss than $50,000. The ofiicera of the treasury and welfare depertnnel.t, are here. nnri are supplied with all details with rospeet to relief fiances, end in fact other relief figures, and we are prepared to discuss these platters in detail if and when required, At this juncture I desire to male a statement with respect to the estimated saving or gain to the protein' of Ontario, ns contained on nage 011, Tleok 11, of the Teetim0002)1tinns 9f tete Sirois tptmnlsnton, ^- The estimated savings or gain to the province of Ontario, on the 1087 base is 58,826,000 per nunnm. But n careful analysis of the figures indicates that in- stead of a gain of 55,325,000, the nctuai not loss to the province for tate 1037 period would be 50.432,000. Thus it will be seen that the information given on page 00 of the Sirois report as to the expected improvement in the financial position of the province on the 1037 hasp is inaccurate and not in accordance with the findings of the treasury department of the province of Ontario. This inaccuracy, amounts to the large figure of $11,7513,000: The reconeiliution of these amounts is available and can be explained by the technical officers of the treasury department. With respect to the present fiscal year, the situation is infinitely worse. If the Sirois :inn were adopted and made effective for the present fiscal year, which ends out March 31 next, Idle province of Ontario would be fused with a eortaitt net loss.in 1'0n u„ a „ of tree stun of 517,000,00e. This for the present risco' year alone. The province will be required to give up annual revenues of 540,000,000 Deduct from this, expenditure as- sumed by the dominion, and the one mill subsidy to the mnniripal- ities, which could not tenger be paid, a total suns of 23.000,000 Leaves a loss of $17,000,000 Ona of the first results of this loss in revenue, brought about by the giving up of the sur.teesion duty (axes, wuuid be the loss in revenue lo the University of Toronto of the sunt of $500,no.1. i would refer you to the Revised Statutes of Ontario (1937) chapter 372, section 120, which is the statutory authority for pay - meet from the proceeds of succession duties to the University of Toronto in the sum of $500,000 per annum, Set Education Back 50 Years Bat that is ,lust one indication of what the loss in rettnees ;would mean to oil:cation-in our province.
